I didn't mean decent as in incredible! I meant as in decent enough. Not about to fall apart. Not a cheap chinese mail order frame.
I don't have much money. I want to play around with a fixed gear bike before I decide whether or not I'd like to ride one more often.
An old frame around 60cm, fixed hub, just a functioning fixed gear bike. Is £100 too little to ask?
I'm sure I could build one for less with a £30 531 frame after some searching on ebay (I've been through a couple of 531 bikes in the past that cost me about that off ebay!- the two I grabbed were too small which is a shame) and an old third hand fixed wheelset, I don't need nitto bars or mavic wheels or a sugino crankset. I want a basic, old parts fixie. I just don't have the time for a project until summer, having exams soon etc.
If anyone has a slightly crappy fixed gear bike they want to get rid of, that didn't cost too much to make, all I was asking was whether you'd give it to me for £100.
God you guys are like rabid monkey arses.
